the inside of the backstage room felt cool. there were a few tables lined up along the walls with food leftovers and books on them. some sound boards were scattered across the room, and GingerBrave noticed DJ on the farther side of the room.
"DJ, there you are!" he said.
"hey! none of the audience members are allowed to be back here!" DJ said.
"sorry, DJ... i saw you come in here crying and was worried" said Strawberry.
"yeah! why'd you turn off the music all of a sudden?" Skater said.
"shit... you guys saw that?" asked DJ.
"yeah... we hope you're okay after what happened" said Strawberry.
"oh, i'm okay now! it's just... there was someone in the audience..."
"we saw... she seems really dangerous" said GingerBrave.
"pretty... scary... nngh..." moaned Zombie.
"do you two... know each other?" asked Strawberry.
"it's a long story" said DJ quickly.
"we'll be happy to listen if you have time to tell us! you don't have to, though" GingerBright said.
"yeah, it's about time i tell someone who actually wants to listen to me... lock the door" DJ said.
GingerBrave went to lock the door to the backstage room and sat next to DJ along with his friends. DJ sighed and began explaining everything.

"i've been into making music ever since i was a kid. Mom bought me a little keyboard and i started playing with it. eventually, i fell in love with it! i thought it was the greatest thing ever at the time! so as i got older, Mom bought me more things to make music with... keyboards, soundboards, records... stuff like that. and then i started buying my own things, and i even posted my music online! it gained tons of love, and i never wanted to stop doing it because i was so popular!"
"that seems like a great feeling!" commented GingerBrave.
"yeah, and then came this one fan... he also made music and was inspired by my music, which is why he started making it! that was something i loved about him. one day, he said he wanted to meet me in real life, and then we ended up meeting at my first concert! i was signing autographs and then came him. i recognized him easily because of his profile picture, and he was so happy that he got an autograph from me! that was also the first time i've seen him smile."
"that's sweet!" commented GingerBright.
"after that, he started flirting with me and telling me that i was hot, which made me blush a lot. it was another great feeling. we continued to meet in real life, and we even began getting... physical with each other. we were pretty much dating at this point. this is probably oversharing, and you guys are just minors but... one night, i was drunk and he was drunk with me, and we just... ended up doing it on the couch. it felt great for the both of us... we were pretty much on good terms until he started talking to his one friend..."
"uh, oh..." Skater commented.
"she was pretty immature and obsessive. she had this one other friend who he was interested in before he met me. anyway, they both were friends with the pink gun girl... and he thought it was smart to introduce her to me. i liked her at first, but then she started getting creepy. ever since she found out i made music, she's been stalking my profiles and even standing outside my house. i talked to my boyfriend about it, but he said his little friend wanted her to be my friend, which was ridiculous... when i came out as non-binary, she constantly disrespected my pronouns and said things like 'you're too old to change your gender now!' she was tiring, and i wanted to get rid of her! one day, she started sexually harassing me and she put on this costume that exposed a lot of her skin, which made me uncomfortable. she still wears it to this day... she even shot me with her gun once, and i started putting my hands all over my boyfriend when he didn't want it. i don't know if that affected our relationship or not... i'm still scared of her. she's a really dangerous woman, guys."
"it really seemed like it back there..." commented GingerBrave.
"wouldn't you know her name if you've met?" asked GingerBright.
"yeah. her name is... Pink Choco. that gun of her's gives people the Love Virus" said DJ.
"so that's what she was talking about..." Strawberry said.
"i'm not sure if she's one of them, but... be careful. the impact of her gun... is worse than being drunk" DJ said.
"thank you for letting us know. by the way, you're happy now, right?" said GingerBrave.
"what...?"
"aren't you happy that you're still able to make music? that seemed like a lot to deal with..."
"yeah... i am. it was my childhood dream to be up on the stage."
"and you achieved your dream. you should be proud of yourself!"
"you're right! there's only one me, after all."
"now then, i meant to ask you if you knew anything about a cookie paradi-"

all of a sudden, the door to the backstage room started rattling.
"hey, DJ! let me in!" said Pink Choco with an angry tone in her voice.
"it's her. stay quiet" DJ told GingerBrave and his friends.
"i know you're in there! i've never been back here before..." she started banging on the door.
the group tried to hide in a corner of the room in case she ended up breaking down the door. moments later, she ran towards the door and broke it, making it fall to the ground. she was now standing in the room with her gun loaded.
"oh, no...!" said DJ. a scared expression was on their face.
"hello, DJ! miss me?" Pink Choco asked.
"not at all... i think it's time you put that gun down."
"you know what...? never! this world should be filled with love and lust. it would make everything happier."
"but it's not. you enjoy sexual harassment, and that's not okay. you constantly hurt people with that gun of yours and-"
"i think you need another shooting."
"NO!"
"we should get out of here..." GingerBrave whispered, leading his friends to the doorway quietly as to not alert Pink Choco.
"guys...! please leave... she'll eventually shoot me and i don't want you to witness me infected" DJ said with caution.
"okay" GingerBrave said before leaving the backstage room with his friends.
as they were walking away, they heard a gunfire and evil laughs from Pink Choco.
